WARNING
Supplemental curtain side impact air bag:
cThe supplemental curtain side-impact
air bag ordinarily will not inflate in the
event of a frontal impact, rear impact,
rollover or lower severity side collision.
Always wear your seat belt to help re-
duce the risk or severity of injury in
various kinds of accidents.
WARNING
cThe seat belts and the supplemental
curtain side-impact air bags are most
effective when you are sitting well back
and upright in the seat. The curtain
side-impact air bag inflates with great
force. Do not allow anyone to place
their hand, leg or face near the side roof
rails or to extend their hand out of the
window or lean against the door. Some
examples of dangerous riding positions
are shown in the previous illustrations.
